Probationary Checkride
 

Tried geiting some info on the general thread, but nothing definitive, so moving it here.

Has anyone done this probationary checkride, recently? I am getting conflicting info with respect to whether this is a full AQP re-qualification event, or if it is more of a SV/PV event.

This is nowhere near my base month, so it is being scheduled way in advance of when I would be due.

If anyone has gone through the process recently and can provide specific details of what is involved, study guidance, etc., those of us going through would appreciate it.

Yes, I did check the training section of the website. There is absolutely nothing about it listed there.

Thank you.

My probie ride(hire date) a year ago was just an SV/PV at the school house. Then my recurrent was 4 months later. It was a pleasure having 3 orals in 12 months.

Others from my same sim class had their probie ride congruent with their first recurrent (six months early for some odd reason).

Thanks. Exactly what I'm trying to figure out. Sounds like it could go either way, SV/PV, or full-blown recurrent.

Sure would be a nice thing to know/be able to find out.

I was a late 2016 new hire and I did a schoolhouse sv/pv in November the following year.

After that, I went to recurrent in March or April of 2017 and at that point, they I still had to do a probationary ride along with recurrent. So another oral.

I think they do a “contractual” probation ride before the twelve months but the real one as far as they are concerned is when you do recurrent.

Dec 2017 hire and I just did mine last month. It was a full R12 recurrent and your base month will reset.

Great info! Thank you. I guess I should expect R12 as well, since it sounds like everyone is getting the R12 program in 2019.

Also, isn't your first AQP re-qual always R12, then alternating thereafter?

As far as I know, yes.

Not necessarily.
I see some of the crj guys getting r24 for their first recurrent

No you can do either R12 or R 24 the first time the. Alternating after that. With that said everything will be R12 in 2019.

You must have some inside knowledge that no one else has. Everyone doing R12 in 2019? Crazy!! Now I bet you are going to say we are going to do an extra day of sim too?
